ID: 211963 Identifying Core Patient-Reported Outcomes for Chronic Pain Patients Treated With Spinal Cord Stimulation

Abstract

Pain perception is complex and involves both sensory and psychological components of the brain. Multiple patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are usually required to capture different aspects of pain to characterize the experience. However, the burden of collecting full-length PROs at each clinical visit is demanding. The objective of this work is to investigate the feasibility of using a limited set of outcome questions from multiple PROs to accurately reflect the subject’s response to spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy for pain management.
